Don't you just love those mornings where you actually get up before anyone else? I know I do. My day seems to run just a little smoother as well.
2 weeks until Christmas. Actually less than. Am I finished with my Christmas gifts? I was supposed to be, BUT.... I'm not. That's not to say I haven't been busy. I feel like I'm becoming one with the sewing machine, I have been in front of it so much here lately :). I do have to say though, I think I have more done now than I did last year at this time, if that is any consolation. But that doesn't help me get done any faster....I was supposed to already BE done! I really enjoy making things, it's just the stress of "am I going to have everything done in time" that stresses me.... :)
I was reading over my girls' blogs {3 of our daughters have them} and it hit me real hard this morning how much they have grown. I see it every day, 3 of them are as tall as me {one of them slightly taller....but I'm not going to admit it} but when it hit me this morning, it was a different feeling, one with mixed emotions like melancholy, sadness, I'm getting old, ... but also joy in seeing them become Godly young ladies. They make me so proud. I am so proud of all my children. God has blessed me FAR more than I deserve. When I was my oldest daughter's age, I said I didn't want ANY kids... in those words. But God in His love and mercy changed my heart and gave me 8 beautiful children, I am so unworthy yet so thankful! I am so thankful that God doesn't see me as me, but sees His son, Jesus Christ. Where would I be today if not for His love.
Have a Blessed Lord's Day!
What a sweet post!
